[FIXED] Cursor gets stuck on Camera icon in CAS

[ Edited ]
Hero

Issue

 

When in CAS, the cursor suddenly gets stuck on the Camera icon and does not want to change back. All you can do is force-close the game.

 

Possible Workarounds/Solutions

 

Most of these are taken from the old thread here: Cursor stops working in CAS. If a solution helps you, please click on the link and give the post XP.

 

To help find out what is causing this issue, could you please answer the following questions: 

 

  • Do you have a laptop or a desktop computer ?
  • What operating system do you have (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, Mac)
  • Are you using a mouse or the touchpad or some other input device  (please specify exactly, ex: Razor Mouse, Microsoft Mouse, ..)
  • Are you running laptop mode ?
  • Does it only happen in CAS or have you seen it in Live/Buy/Build mode as well ?
  • Did you play the CAS Demo and if so, did you have the same issue ?
  • Please try to describe the steps that cause the issue for you. I know this might be difficult but the more info the better.
  • Please include your DxDiag but make sure to either post them at pastebin.com (or hastebin.com) and just post the link here or to include spoiler tags.
  • Anything else you think might be important ?

Good Luck

  • We fixed an issue that could be caused when using a trackpad, resulting in the cursor becoming stuck (most often while in Create a Sim), and leave users in an unplayable state.

Cautiously marking this as solved (meaning I will mark as solved but it will stay on the list for now).

 

Please let me know how it's working out for you

Sims 4 Mac, Mouse stuck on camera in CAS

★★★ Newbie

Hi all,

 

I just installed TS4 on my Macbook pro. I have yet to be able to play the game, because after about 2 minutes in CAS, the mouse gets stuck on camera/rotate mode and I cannot click on anything. I tried playing in windowded mode, restarted my computer and restarted the game several times and nothing has worked so far. Help!

Do you have a laptop or a desktop computer?
- laptop
What operating system do you have (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, Mac)
- Windows 7
Are you using a mouse or the touchpad or some other input device (please specify exactly, ex: Razor Mouse, Microsoft Mouse, ..)
- touchpad
Are you running laptop mode ?
- I think that's the only mode I have?
Does it only happen in CAS or have you seen it in Live/Buy/Build mode as well ?
- so far, only CAS
Did you play the CAS Demo and if so, did you have the same issue ?
- no, I did not play the demo
Please try to describe the steps that cause the issue for you. I know this might be difficult but the more info the better.
- I tried to change my Sims outfits so I entered into CAS mode. After a couple of minutes, the mouse changed to a camera icon and it won't let me select anything.
Please include your DxDiag but make sure to either post them at pastebin.com (or hastebin.com) and just post the link here or to include spoiler tags.

Anything else you think might be important?
- I've been playing the game for over a month now and this is the first time it has happened. I have tried all other possible solutions given and nothing has worked.
